OGDEN – The Ogden football team rolled to its second straight shutout with a 41-0 win over Guthrie Center on Friday.

“No better way to start the season than with two shutouts,” Ogden coach Garrison Carter said. “I have to give a ton of credit to Coach (Rick) Hamilton and his defense. He had another great plan.”

The Bulldogs (2-0) played lockdown defense, holding the Tigers (0-2) to just 114 yards of total offense. Ogden rushed for 377 yards, finishing the game with 479 yards of offense.

“It’s great to see the offense clicking,” Carter said.

It was another big game for Austin Lentz. He led the Bulldogs, rushing for 127 yards and two touchdowns.

“He is only a sophomore, but runs like a senior,” Carter said. “Credit his hard work in the offseason and competitiveness to his success early on this season.”

Carter said quarterback Caleb Frye played his best all-around game since he’s known him. The senior completed 9-of-11 passes for 102 yards and two TDs. Frye also did damage on the ground as he ran for 92 yards and a TD.

“He only threw two incomplete passes, but more importantly I thought he made great decisions,” Carter said. “He was a tremendous leader for the offense.”

Luke West put on another show. The junior caught all nine of Frye’s passes, finishing with 102 yards and a pair of trips to the end zone.

“He’s so quick and would be tough to tackle in a phone booth,” Carter said. “He’s fun to watch and is a threat to score every time he touches the ball.”
